Classic Sports Card of The Day

04 Apr

Courtesy of www.CheckOutMyCards.com , a 1985 Fleer baseball card of former major league outfielder Jose Cruz, who is a member of a royal baseball family. He is the brother of former major leaguers Hector and Tommy Cruz, and his son, Jose Jr., also was a star major leaguer. Cruz had a long career spanning 19 seasons with 3 teams, primarily the Houston Astros. Aside from Roberto Clemente, he is the most famous Puerto Rican-born player. His 6 career walk-off home runs are still an Astro team record, and he had an outstanding NLCS playoff series in a losing cause in 1980, batting .400 in the dramatic five-game series loss to the Phillies.
